When a Blind Twitter Date Leads to a Wedding

There's a love story that's gone viral that may renew your faith in finding someone great in the most unlikely place and under some rather bizarre circumstances. 

A London woman, Lila, needed a date for her sister's wedding so she took to Twitter to find someone. This was back in July of 2016. 

Are you a man? Can I borrow you for a wedding next weekend? Bonus points if you can source a baby that I can pretend is mine too.

She got a response from a guy named Phil that same day, and the date was set. 

@Llia I can do this, I've got a suit and everything!

The pair had a funny dialogue back and forth as they made the plans:

@philgibson01 is this how internet dating works?

@Llia My Grandma already wants to meet you.

Now it's been exactly three years since Phil and Lila met on Twitter.

So what are they up to? Well, their 2014 date must have gone well. The couple just got married!

If you're someone who's single and lost hope just remember that some amazing love stories still exist.
